UFC officials announced the pairing Wednesday morning. The Feb.
22 event is headlined by a light heavyweight showdown pitting
former champion Rashad
Evans against ex-heavyweight standout Daniel
Cormier and takes place at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in
Las Vegas. UFC 170 will air live on pay-per-view and will also see
Demian
Maia collide with Rory
MacDonald in a pivotal welterweight clash.

Pyle, 38, saw a four-fight winning streak snapped in his most
recent outing, in which he was knocked out by surging vet Matt Brown in
just 29 seconds. Prior to that setback, “Quicksand” posted three
victories last year and kicked off 2013 with a split decision win
over Rick
Story at UFC 160.

Waldburger, meanwhile, enters his confrontation with Pyle 13 years
the junior of his opponent. The submission specialist has racked up
a UFC record of 4-3 over three years with the organization but was
knocked out in his last appearance, falling to Adlan
Amagov this past October at UFC 166.
